Notes

It’s been nearly three years since I knit any socks (really?!?) and I needed an on-the-go project that I didn’t have to think about.

Two socks at a time, cast on 64, 2x2 ribbing for 2”.
Start heel flap after 7”.
Eye of Partridge heel.
Start toe decreases after 6”.
Decrease toes (two stitches in from each side, top & bottom) to 32 stitches.
Work toe according to these directions: http://whatzitknitz.com/?p=3980, only instead of decreasing at the beginning of each short row, slip the first stitch. (So, there are twice as many rows as in those directions - doing it as written didn’t work for my row/stitch gauge and caused puckers.)

(Also, it makes me unreasonably happy that they match my knitting bag, hence the name.)
